nitrox

Beqa Lagoon Resort is proud to offer our diving guests the option of diving Nitrox in Fiji. We are one of the few dive resorts in Fiji with on-site Nitrox blending facility so our divers can extend their bottom time on our beautiful reefs.

What is Nitrox, a.k.a. Enriched Air (EANx)?
Nitrox is the common name for mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen where the oxygen content is greater than 21%. The most common mixture is 32% oxygen (which is what we offer), with the balance consisting of nitrogen.

Why use Nitrox to dive around Fiji?

Dive longer, with more bottom time and less surface time. With increased oxygen in the mix, there is less nitrogen absorbed into the body's tissues. Generally this affords a diver longer bottom time while still being able to ascend safely so you can spend more time trying to get that photograph of a pair of Blue Ribbon Eels, or that Orangutang Crab hiding on the wreck. Another bonus is sticking to your regular dive time knowing that you have an extra level of safety due to breathing less nitrogen. Nitrox is particularly useful for divers who are doing two or more one-hour long dives in a day or repetitive dives over multiple days.
